The Boston Whaler Menemsha…one of the ugliest boats in history.  So ugly that they are cool!!!  Is it yours???

The reason I would sand it out is a lesson on how a single factor might not be the reason for the performance characteristic.  If you sand the v out and the board still feels slidey or slow then you’ll know that the v wasn’t the whole problem.  V’s are tricky and they need to work with your outline, foil, fin set up and, especially rocker.  Depending on their depth they will affect paddling and trimming because of drag but the trade-off is a real nice feel when you carve your turns.  You just need to balance it out.  I wouldn’t use them in a groveller unless you were surfing a point or lined up wave with some push down the line.

 

<nbsp;This is a very good point. Maybe one of the best shaping Board design lessons you can learn. If the board still feels the same after sanding out then take a hard look at the fin placement. We never did get into rocker or rails. a least I did not see any post on those Wading in shit is not my favorite thing to do .  Now as a suggestion I might start with the fins first. Then when you are satisfied that it is not due to fins or fin placment then move to sanding out the V I don’t recall do you have a fn box system ?  The shit fight got too much and I did not read  a whole lot.

I’m more ofa Mckee Craft man myself. He made some really ugly but very funtinal boats.  Now back to the topic at hand.

Again, shut your pie hole and go dig around this site.  The build threads and surf pics are out there.  The rest of us didn’t just fall off the turnip truck like you did Troll.

Listen partner - with ur ears not ur @**! If you think I fell out of turnip truck - you fell on ur head skateboard n with da skatin bears! I wouldn’t be using those damn templates -not knowin how they work - that’s a waste of foam… I’d need to know more first.

You think you know a lot yet once again you demonstrate how little you know.

those whalers the fisherman LOVE around here. I think it might be the covered bow. 

That one is not mine no. The only boat i own is a 16’ Starcraft i inherited when my grandpa passed. Way too many good times in that thing to sell it. 

Current savings list in order of importance

College, Laser or Moth sailboat, tools and surfcraft materials, car, food. 

Needless to say i dont eat much, or shape much, or drive.

thanks for the input and advice guys
i set it up as a quad and it works great!

Hope this is useful, but I shaped a Bonzer3 type thing a while back that had a lot of Vee exiting the tail. I found it bled off speed when I bottom turned.

i bogged it out with Q-cell, and it changed the ride drastically. Sounds like you got your board going, but it’s an option in future if you thing you might’ve fucked it up!

Cheers!

A ‘’ V ‘’ in the tail,  creates drag, and settles the tail deeper in the water.      What do you suppose made the redwood Hot Curl boards work as well as they did?  This perspective gained in discussions, about surfboard design, with Buzzy Trent.     Buzzy was there, while all those early design paths were being taken.    Ever wonder why naval architects put  ‘‘V’’ in a boat hull?     Think about it.
